  2003 Range Rover Freelander - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By cvandiver - May 1 - 6:00 pm

  Just purchased a 2003 Land Rover, I have had this for 1 week and it is already given me problems. The first day I found out ignition key will not unlock the drivers door, which by the way is the only lock on this rig besides the tailgate, the gas cap fell apart in my hands, the gas mileage is really bad. Driving today it is shifting on its own going down the road, but is shifting hard. The dash is blinking 4F and is says that it is decending down hill,. Being in park is it saying 4F. I took it to the dealership had their mechanic come out and take a look, he checked it out and is saying that I have a Transmition Problem. This is NOT GOOD, used dealer is not anwering our calls to him,NOT GOOD

  Landrovers rule! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Richard - April 5 - 11:26 pm

  I love my Landrover! Bought it used with 28,000 miles last year. And yes I have had to take it to the dealer for a few things but they treated me right. If you like jeeps wranglers on the outside but hate the way they ride this babys for you.

  My Freelander Experience - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By sarahjane24 - February 24 - 1:11 pm

  Though I loved this car, it was NOT a good investment. My 2003 landrover had one problem after another. The 4 years I had it, I easily put over a thousand dollars each year for repairs. Land Rover parts are EXPENSIVE. I had TWO new engines within 4 years (thank god for warranty). I also had to replace multiple window motors, a muffler, the starter, pumps, axels...the list goes on. The repairs dont seem like big repairs, but these parts are NOT cheap. Unfortunately, a deer ran into my drivers side and TOTALED it. It seemed insane! The damage was moderate Id say. But because its so expensive to fix...my baby is gone.

  The ride of the Freelander is fantastic. It handles snow and ice without a hitch. I have taken it through 20 inches of unplowed snow, it did not have any problems. The AWD system works well.

  Great to drive, for 2 only though - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By johnmpc94 - November 2 - 2:40 pm

  Bought this SUV used, and have had no problems yet. Vehicle was recalled once, and we spent 1hr 30mins at the dealer, then left with the entire vehicle smelling like gas. Fast for a 2.5L V6, handles like a go-cart, and comfortable for the driver. Passengers in the back seat suffer. Seats at near 90 degree angles, and are hard as concrete. Not good for people who grocery-shop with the family, as the cargo area doesnt have enough room for two weeks worth of meals. Ive noticed lately that the back hatch is having trouble as well. When closed, the back glass doesnt go up correctly. Only thing wrong with it is the back left power window, which hasnt worked since we bought it. Otherwise great.

  HSE is Having Superior Enjoyment ! - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By HSE Owner - September 27 - 10:00 am

  I bought this Land Rover from Dimmitt in Clearwater on 5/15/03. Great dealer. John the salesman is excellent. I went from a Ford Harley F150 to this so I lost some features I was used to (not to mention power) that should be on this SUV for its price tag. Such as auto lights, keyless entry and a better sound system (Harmon Kardon is not very good despite what people think). However, I love this and dont miss my truck at all. It is a little small (Im 61) but still comfortable. People complain about the power but I thinks it pretty quick. It does shift a bit hard.

  Not Happy - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Julie - August 26 - 7:06 pm

  I have had my Freelander 16 months. So far the battery had to be replaced, a vaccum hose has been replaced, the heater core went and when fixing that the vaccum motor had to be replaced. I am now on my 3rd radio due to problems with the radio or GPS. And my new problem is the lighter has quit working. Of course this has all been covered by warranty but should all this be wrong with a new car and an inconvience to me as I had to keep taking the vehicle to the dealership until my husband bought the LR3 so now they bring me a loaner and pick mine up. I really like the design of the vehicle but service was not good until we became a 2 Landrover Household.

  Beware! Total Lemon - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By chrisl - August 2 - 1:00 am

  This care is a piece of crap. UNDEPENDABLE! Have had it 3 years and nothing but problems. Thank God I purchased an aftermarket warranty which more than paid for itself. The warranty has expired and I have to dump this car pronto and cut my losses. Anyone who owns this car and hasnt had problems should consider themselves lucky as it seems to be few and far in between.
